Can someone help me with an HTML problem?

I am making a website for my grandfather. My html is a little bit rusty. I have a left column with links, a header, footer, then the main section of the page. In the main section I have a picture to the left with text directly to the right. I have the text in a <P> then i used <BR CLEAR="all"> to stop the text wrap. I am happy with how this part is but when I started a new <P> it leaves a huge gap. I need 3 <P> all together and I have huge gaps in between. I am also using a CSS sheet. I want the content of each <P> to be just under one another. Can anyone help?
